EduLab Capital Partners is a Boston-Tokyo venture fund spun out of Japan's EduLab group that focuses specifically on "Seed+" edtech and workforce technology companies showing product-market fit, providing them access to both North American and Asian markets including partnerships like NTT Docomo's 5G network for education pilots in Japan. Unlike traditional VCs, the fund embeds a dedicated AI team in Boston that works directly with portfolio companies on product development and runs a structured talent development program that mentors early-career professionals into venture careers at firms like Bain Capital and Morgan Stanley.
